Helpline: 1-800-275-1233 WELCOME ABOUT US Individuals with brain injuries, parents, and professionals founded the Brain Injury Association of Maine in 1982. At that time, very little knowledge or awareness about the causes and types of brain injury existed, even among health care providers. The Brain Injury Association of Maine provides information, resources and support to all individuals that request it. The Brain Injury Association of Maine, a non-profit 501(c) 3, is an affiliate of the Brain Injury Association of America in McLean, VA. Today, the organization reaches over 3,000 individuals, families and businesses annually. The organization has twelve support groups, five active committees staffed by dedicated volunteers, as well as a toll free helpline available for people seeking information about brain injury. To accomplish the organization’s mission ".. to create a better future through brain injury prevention, education and advocacy," the Brain Injury Association of Maine depends upon generous donations from its members, sponsors and the community at large. Thank You to the Libra Foundation who generously funded this web site.

Brain Injury The brain in an adult is only 2% of the total body weight, but uses 20% of the blood supply. It must be IMPORTANT! Don't forget to read about good Brain Fitness Protect That BRAIN! - Mr. Egghead For grades K-6 Whether you bike, skateboard, or rollerblade, it is a good idea to wear a helmet to protect your brain. To demonstrate this, get two eggs. Pretend that the egg shell is a skull and the inside of the egg is a brain. Spread some newspaper on the ground (it helps clean-up). Drop one of the eggs on the newspaper...it should break....it was not wearing a helmet. Make a helmet for the second egg. This helmet can be made of paper, styrofoam, or anything else that will cushion the egg. Drop the egg wearing the "helmet." Notice that it remained unbroken (we hope). This should reinforce the idea that wearing helmets while biking, skating, etc. is a good idea. Actually, if the eggs break while wearing the "helmet," it is a good opportunity to ask why...was the "helmet" unsafe? Did the egg fall at an angle so that it was not protected? How would you make the best helmet? I have heard of people doing this experiment with a WATERMELON thrown off of a roof, but I have never tried it. I am sure that this demonstration would have a great "impact" on all those who watch.

Frequently Asked Questions About Head Injury Ruth Hutchison, M.S. and Terry Hutchison, M.D., Ph.D., and The Texas Head Injury Association State Chapter of the National Head Injury Foundation, in collaboration with members of the Texas Head Injury Association, provide the following answers to questions frequently asked by head injured people, their families and friends, and professionals. WHAT IS A HEAD INJURY? The term HEAD INJURY refers to an injury to the BRAIN which is usually the result of an accident, or sometimes an assault. Often the injury results froma blow to the head such as may be suffered in an automobile accident, a fall or a gunshot wound. The injury may also occur as a result of lack of oxygen (such as in drowning), or as a result of lack of blood supply to the brain (such as following a cardiac arrest). People with multiple injuries (as in serious auto accidents) often suffer brain injury by more than one of these mechanisms. The term HEAD INJURY is preferable to the term BRAIN DAMAGE because the brain has tremendous powers of recovery. Furthermore, shortly after a head injury, it is usually impossible. WHAT HAPPENED?

Farmers with brain injuries share a list of general tips to help prevent additional injuries. http://www.cdc.gov/nasd/docs/d000001-d000100/d000052/d000052.html

Safety Tips for Farming with a Brain Injury The Easter Seal Society It is very important to determine the exact nature of the limitations and how these limitations may affect performing farm tasks safely. The following is a list of general tips that farmers with brain injuries have shared to help prevent additional injuries. If the doctor says that you shouldn't drive a car, then you shouldn't operate farm machinery. If the doctor says that you can operate an automobile with modifications, then you can also operate farm machinery with appropriate modifications. Please consult with a rehabilitation professional regarding the appropriate modifications. Head protection, such as helmets, should be worn at all times when performing farm related tasks. If the injury has resulted in limited mobility, appropriate mobility aids should be selected to prevent falls. These aids may include: a used golf cart; lawn mower with adaptations; an appropriate wheelchair; and special cane tips for maneuvering around ice, snow, and loose gravel.
